Half baked thought: The web was a lot better before we had phones browsing it. (Just thinking of sidebars on blogs. RIP)

New blog post: YouTube testing everything.

I think it’s time to re-read Station Eleven.

Quote from Station Eleven: No more Internet. No more social media, no more scrolling through litanies of dreams and nervous hopes and photographs of lunches, cries for help and expressions of contentment and relationship-status updates with heart icons whole or broken, plans to meet up later, pleas, complaints, desires, pictures of babies dressed as bears or peppers for Halloween. No more reading and commenting on the lives of others, and in so doing, feeling slightly less alone in the room. No more avatars.

I was happy to get an email from Logan at Music for Makers with a new song (he gives away a song a week for podcasters, youtuber’s, etc.) - so I recorded a quick video explaining how sweet the songs are and his website is.

Each week I forget to mention it, but I sent out a new issue of my weekly newsletter. 539 words, 34kb according to Buttondown. You can subscribe here.

The local Costco had eggnog already. I don’t know if that’s normal for the first week of October or not, but it still felt a little jarring to see when I walked into the dairy section.

Maybe I’ve had it all wrong - I should be moving my blog to Buttondown instead of moving my newsletter to Ghost? 🤔
